Lifting The Flat Deck of My 4 Runner
I modified my flat sleeping deck for the 4 runner by lifting it up. It becomes a lot more utilitarian.

    The only reason to do another review is to describe your cooking experience. Your experience added nothing. Boiling 1” of water is of no interest in cooking. You failed to say how small the heating magnet is. I own this cooktop. It warps my 11” Matfer carbon steel. The surface of a pan heats unevenly. A propane burner is much better. No thanks to this “content”.

    Great video! Can you tell me from experience with it, as manual wording is confusing regarding to timer mode. Manual says if you are using TIMER mode and set timer, Says once that timer stops you must repeat all steps above to set a timer again? meaning it only sets 1 future timer up, and for example if you select 8 hours , it will not continually turn it back on and off every 8 hours? Odd. I wanted it to make it run exactly every 8 hours without having to manually set it each time. Am I misunderstanding the function of this option? And with the option to CHOOSE your humidity level, if you choose 50% say, it will turn itself on and off by itself throughout the day to maintain that 50%? Fan will run but compressor only when needed. Or do you need to keep restarting it that way too? Continuous mode does not let you set a desired level and runs 24/7? Any feedback on these 3 options would be appreciated.
